Vividly illustrating the techniques of a legendary innovator, this definitive examination explains how to survive attacks on the street, increase training awareness, and develop body movements. Originally compiled as a four-volume series, this revised edition breathes new life into a classic work with digitally-enhanced photography of jeet kune do founder Bruce Lee in his prime, a new chapter by former Lee student Ted Wong, and an introduction by Shannon Lee. This renowned compendium once again reclaims its place as an integral part of the Lee canon and a necessary addition for collectors and martial arts enthusiasts alike.

To many people Bruce Lee represents the absolute peak in human physical performance and athleticism. He was renowned for his incredibly low body fat which gave him this wicked looking physique, but what was much more impressive than the way his physique looked was what it could do.

Bruce Lee was capable of some incredible feats of power and he may well have been one of the strongest people alive pound for pound during his lifetime. So let's take a look at the way Bruce Lee trained, and see if we can learn something from his training methods and apply some of the principles he used to our own training methods.

The first thing that makes Bruce Lee unique among his contemporaries was the fact that he trained with weights. At the time most martial artists believe that if they train with weights it would make their muscles big and bulky and slow and this would make them less effective as fighters.

Bruce Lee did the research however and he knew that he could use martial arts training in combination with bodybuilding and powerlifting type techniques in order to develop more explosive power through that fast twitch muscle fibre and that mind-muscle connection… and that's what his training was all about.

He wasn't really interested in building size he was much more mature than building pure power, so he used some quite unique training methods that are slightly different from what you might be familiar with as a bodybuilder perhaps or just as a regular gym enthusiast that allowed him to build this kind of insane strength.

Without packing on that much exercise, he only weighed about 135 pounds. So it's quite a small guy but the stuff he could do with that… such as the two finger push-up… or apparently holding barbells out at arm's length for long periods of time weighing 40 kilograms… demonstrated that he had an awful lot of power behind him.

The first thing that really sets Bruce Lee apart is his philosophy and the emphasis he put on philosophy in his training. I've written recently about the importance of a training philosophy and Bruce Lee epitomises this idea. Bruce Lee didn't just train because he wanted to look good. Bruce Lee trained because he wanted to be a better fighter and beyond that he believed the martial arts were the perfect way to express yourself.

He wanted to have the ability to be in full complete control of his body so that when he wanted to do something it was right there so that he could be completely in sync with his emotions. He used to say when he wants to punch you better believe he's gonna punch it. So he had to develop that speed and that power and this is the driving force behind what he did… this is why he was so committed to training.

It's why he truly believed in it and that's why he was willing to put in so much work. He wasn't training for a goal, just training for the love of training. He was like a real-life Guru or something… always coming up with new ways to push the envelope, and that's the other thing about Bruce Lee.

He was constantly experimenting with new ways to not just gain incremental increases in strength but to push the envelope and to actually exponentially unlock entirely different kinds of power… and I’m going to explain some of the ways he did that in this short book.
